Fowler White Burnett ATTORNEYS AT LAW Miami I Fort Lauderdale I Palm Beach November 30, 2018 Scott J. Link, Esquire LINK & ROCKENBACH, PA 1555 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., Suite 930 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Re: Epstein Dear Scott: James N. Hurley General Counsel (305) 789-9218 direct (305) 728-7518 fax Your correspondence of November 29, 2018 has been forwarded to the undersigned. Until further notice, please direct any future correspondence not directly related to the Show Cause proceedings to the undersigned. Further, on any correspondence which may pertain to the Show Cause proceedings, please copy the undersigned. Having now reviewed your correspondence in detail, on behalf of the Firm, we categorically deny any allegations of wrongdoing and reject your demand for $3 million. During its representation of Mr. Epstein, the Firm diligently pursued issues pertaining to the privilege log and production of documents and was continuing its pursuit of these issues at the time of its termination by your client more than six (6) years ago. In reviewing your selected excerpts from Judge Hafele's statements, it is clear you are attempting to place a context which the Court did not intend. Judge Hafele was upset that he was being asked to look at potentially up to 27,000 documents on the eve of trial when the issue of the privileged document had been known and unresolved for at least the previous six years. None of the firms which succeeded ours, including your own, attempted to pursue the issue of the privileged documents during that six years although the case remained pending after our discharge. In fact, none of the successor firms ever attempted to review our files until you did in January of this year. Mr. Epstein, and his legal team, were well aware that the issue of the privileged documents remained unresolved at the time of our discharge. As to the recent Show Cause proceedings, Judge Ray's order speaks for itself. I will not comment on
